Why does lung cancer take a long time to develop?


Why does lung cancer take a long time to develop?

rjbsleep - Of several different types of lung cancer, with different causes, the most common is squamous cell carcinoma associated with smoking. "To develop" the irritating smoke and tars must first cause abnormal changes in the lining of the lung bronchus or trachea. over a period of years the abnormal changes become increasingly abnormal until chromosome changes happen and the cells become malignant. Then the cancer needs time to grow and block a major breathing paggage before a person becomes clinically ill. Why it takes so long is a mystery; it is the nature of the lung cancer cells.
